Good morning all and welcome to day 205 of Melbourne Lockdown!
JMcG has been keeping busy and did not let the difficulty of either the lockdown or the #6 Challenge deter her from producing not one, but two refraction works! This is doubly (see what I did there?) impressive because JMcG is a new student this year and has not had the benefit of earlier in class instructions on perspective glass or color work. She deserves a big thumbs up for both these drawings.
👍
Her first work in graphite shows good observation of tonal variations to the glass and water, with highlights noted. Ovals are pretty good too - this is drawn from an angle looking down on the glass so the mouth of the glass is wide tapering down to a smaller bottom curve. I would suggest that JMcG watch small details like the pointed edge to the bottom curve right side as this should be rounder. But a great work overall, well done!

In her second work JMcG has used her Inktense pencils and a fineliner to produce this excellent little color study. I really like how she has handled the tones and subtle hues of the water in the glass. Also the glass with it's unusual shape would have been tricky to draw but she has done this quite well. The top oval of the glass is a touch wonky, but overall it is a good rendering of the shape and tones done in a medium that can be unforgiving.
The daffodil is lovely - mine have yet to bloom and I am envious - the shape is well observed. JMcG was concerned that there seemed to be little refraction of the stem into the water. But this would be correct from the angle of view and from observation. Another good drawing!

A nice color version from JH using Inktense pencils. Good work JH - The base has sharp ends, not quite rounded off enough, but works well. And the refraction is good.

And two drawings exploring oval shapes from our previous weeks' challenge. They are nicely done by JMcG and I felt they were both worth showing. The mug is good work- just watch those pointy ends on the oval shapes, remember to keep them rounded. The decoration on the mug works well and I note you put it on after doing all the shapes and tones.

...and her second oval drawing is this yummy looking cake - good enough to eat!
